Mali i Nemercke is one of the Albanian ultra-prominent mountains, meaning that - theoretically - you have to descend more than 1500 meter in order to climb a mountain that is higher. In other words, its prominence is mor...

Mali i Shëndëllisë is along the major highway connecting Fier and Gjirokaster. It is in everybody's view, but we had never heard of anyone climbing it. Shëndëllisë had been on our mind for a while, and we were just waiti...
Mali i Buretos is perhaps somewhat neglected by ambitious hikers. This might be because it happens to be a little less high than mighty Cajupi Mountain, or even nearby Nemercka or Papingut. 1759 Meter do not seem to be v...
What looks like something from one side may look a different matter from the other side. Mali i Lunxherise is one of those two-faced mountains.

When in Gjirokaster, Cajupi is right in your face, and the people of Gjirokaster get excited when talking about it - or hearing about your intention to make it to its summit.
Still, we are not aware that Cajupi is cli...

I hope no one else has to go through the same experience we did at Papingu Peak. We had to walk for about 4-5 hours in harsh winter conditions to reach the summit. This trail is nearly twice as long as the one from Skore...
Mali i Trebeshinës (or Trebeshina Mountain) is the big brother of Shendellisë. Trebeshina is more than 100 meters higher. While Shendellisë has a narrow ridgeline, Trebeshinë is rather broad and long. Its mass makes it t...

When mentioning Mourgana to someone in Albania, you are likely to draw a blank. This is, perhaps, because Mourgana is the southernmost big mountain in Albania and remote. But then, because it is the southernmost big peak...

Disclaimer: I like doing extreme day hikes so this is definitely not for everyone. I've only marked it difficult due to elevation gain and distance but otherwise, it's a straight forward hike. Nothing technical about it....
A bit of a crazy hike has to get to the Monastery there were not always trails so we just went on the bushes and random places. Good views but for the risa and hard hike I would suggest starting directly in Antigonia.
